Alright, we re keeping up on the film-a-week. This one is called colourhunter. It s the first roll of expired Kodak colour film that I ve shot and hand-processed. I just wandered around yesterday with a macro-lens taped onto my camera, collecting colours. After all the warnings I received about processing colour film, I didn t really expect to get any images by the end of it. Now I know why everyone I talked to about hand-processing colour filmed winced before saying good luck.

The music was made by Rozalind MacPhail, and was her first experiment with bansuri, recorded live at Cafe Nostalgica in Ottawa. Quicktime version:
